You don’t always get what you want, but if you’re lucky, you might get what you need.

For one week only, an impenetrable castle is open to the public, and Dale Armstrong has come to Bratislava to rob it. When he finds his partner’s arms mangled, he desperately searches for a way to fix him before time runs out.

Because the war in the Far East is sapping all the allied nation’s resources, only The Nightingale Circus has the spare parts, the power, and the expertise to fix prosthetics and help the injured, but nothing is free.

Unfortunately, Dale doesn’t know about The Nightingale Circus’s side job, but a forced encounter with the most dangerous woman in the city, the Golden Lady, sends him their way. On this roller coaster of crazy twists and flips, schemes and deceit, wishes and dreams, no one can foresee how the aerialist will land.

Villain Interview

Interview
by Ioana Visan

Hello,
everyone! We’re here with Schiller & Liesle CEO, who agreed to talk to us
about the current world situation among other things. Please tell us first what
your company does.

We are the biggest weapon manufacturer
in Europe, sanctioned by the European United Nation Council. Basically, any
weapon you can think of, we probably designed it and built it at some point.

And
sold it, too.

Yes, of course. It’s a business. It
needs to make a profit or we would all be out of a job.

So
this war in the East is very profitable for you.

Our accountants disagree. We have an
obscene budget invested in designing bots that can stand up to the Japanese
bots.

Any
progress with that?

Not as of yet but we keep trying.
There isn’t much time left. They’re expected to reach Moscow this winter.

Which
makes people quite desperate, I assume. There were rumors you assaulted Aurore
and tried to steal her power source.

Not I and it didn’t happen like
that. We knew about the source and we wanted to rent it from her. We hired a
tracker to follow her for a while so we could figure out what offer we could
make her that she couldn’t refuse. It didn’t look like she needed anything. The
way the tracker reacted, however, was very unprofessional. We suspect he was
broken. We’re still having litigations with his department.

Are
you going to keep trying to get the source?

Miss Aurore has made it quite clear
she isn’t interested so we abandoned that initiative. It’s a shame because a
power source that doesn’t run out would have been a great help to cut down our
expenses.

It
has been recently revealed by the media that your contracts are more than
generously remunerated. Will this affect your reputation on the market?

Those are standard governmental
contracts. There’s nothing unusual about them. Just because the general public
only now noticed the fine print, it doesn’t mean we did anything wrong. So no,
we’re not worried.

With
all those funds you have access to, one would think you’d invest in better
security. What about that nerve disruptor prototype that has been leaked to the
black market?

It was obviously a major security
breach. We are still looking into it.

One
more question… Has the plane sent to bomb the Japanese facilities returned yet?

That is a classified project. I
can’t talk about it.

But
you did supply the bombs. So can you give us any hope?

All I can say is that we did our
best, and I’m sure the pilot does his best, too.

I
see… Well, thank you for your time. And let’s hope we’ll still be here in the
spring!
